squawken Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Just wanted to show pics before and after I received my new custom pickguard from Heritage today. I know everyone here doesn't necessarily like this style-but I do. The pics don't do it justice either. Heritage did a great job! And I'm thrilled.
FredZepp Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 That looks great... is that 150 a Chestnut Burst finish? ...
Hfan Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Very nice, I always thought that the 150 deserved a wood guard like on a 157. Same shape as a LP? Appears slightly wider at the bottom, could be me though.
peteraltongreen Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 That's really nice.A classy finishing touch. Peter Alton Green
donnie Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Wow, I would have never thought of that on a 150 but it really looks sweet! Were they able to match it from a picture or just by you telling them the original color? Congrats!
Gitfiddler Posted May 4, 2011 Posted May 4, 2011 Well done! Please explain how you worked out the shipping back and forth of the guitar or pickguard or measurements or stencil, etc. (I'm assuming since you don't live next door to the factory).
squawken Posted May 5, 2011 Author Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks everybody. I sent pictures of the guitar, traced/created a pickguard shape. Kind of blend of Heritage and an Epiphone. Traced enough to fit the pups and screws. And yes-it's Chestnut Burst

High Flying Bird Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 In 90' or 91' Mr. Walker had a burgundy H-150 in his shop. It had a pickguard almost like this one. It really set off the finish. I like this upgrade.
Guest HRB853370 Posted May 5, 2011 Posted May 5, 2011 What other company would do such a thing!! Nobody!! Only Heritage!!
